Serpent Witch Aquaria & Nature Kid!!!

I was going to show some students a painting demo so I planned to do a really simple drawing for it. What started as just a head sketch (I did the prelim sketch on a post it note) became almost a full illustration. Oops! Well I don't have time to paint it anytime soon, definately not during classtime. So then I did this:

Much simpler and I can definately finish it in at most a couple hours...and I like it in all it's simplicity. :) Oh yeah, I'm going to paint them in acrylics.

I like the line work on the first one - very angular... "blocky" lines without giving a "block" feel to the drawing. Almost a mathematical feel to a drawing of a "nature chick" which is a nice parody...

Kevin Barber: Thanks! I don't know when I'll be able to paint the top one cause it'll take a lot more time. I might try something new like oil glazes on it or just watercolor. I don't like to use acrylics unless I'm going for a flatter/simpler look.
